To all zchom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK L.-SATT- Liar, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis. in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin Sorters and Counters, of which. the following is a specification. I

The object, of my invention is to produce a machine capable 'of receiving a multiplicity of mixed. coins of various. denominations, sorting, counting and delivering the same into separate receptacles according to denomination, the counting mechanism besection on line 7 7 of Fig. 5; Fig. 8 a sec;

dotted lines; Fig.

ingflprovided with means for withdrawing, without counting at t at ti1n e, a"ny coins which may have been improperly delivered by the sorting mechanism. The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

machine embodyingmy invention; Fig. 2 a plan thereof; Fig.3 is a-plan on line 3 3 of Fig. 5 with. the sorter .box indicated in 4 a vertical section; Fig. from the same viewpoint as Fig. 4; Figatia front'e'levation; Fig. 7 a

tional-perspectivef on line 8 8- of Fig.4; Fig.

counted-coins; Fig.

10 a perspective of one off the receivers of 11a perspective of one view of one of the counted coin receivers, and Fig. 12 a sectional detail of one of the the support for l-shaped runways and adjacent parts.

The apparatus will be conveniently, sup- I ported upon a suitable stand or frame 20 which is provided at one corner with a post 21, upon the upper end of which is pivoted a coin-receiving tray 22 into which a mass of coins, to be separated, will be dumped. This mass of coins will be gradually fed by hand, preferablyyonto v the gyratory sorter 23 which, in general construction is similarto that which forms the subject-matter of my pending application. Serial No. 295,747, but difiers' in some details of construction. 7 The coins lie first upon the shelf 24: which is perforated wltli openings of a size slightly less than the diameter ofthe largest coins,-and the sorter 1s gyrated in a substantially horizontal plane by means of a pair of wrist pins 25 and 26 Specification of Letters Patent.

v with a-spiral gear 37 Figure 1 1s aside elevation-of a contiplete The "two-wrist pins 25 and 26 support a bracket 30 which at one end is provided with a yoke 31 to which the sorter body 23 25 is projected upwardly bracket SO-and has its upper end rounded to be received in a cup-shaped socket 33 attached to the under side ,of the sorter body 23, said cup being held down upon the of body 23 is \partially supported by a spring carried. by a link 34 pivotally connected, at one end to the bracket 30 and at the. other ing through an lower rearcorne r gear 27 is carried by a shaft 36 provided siniilafr gear 38 carried by the inain drive shaft 39 provided-W1 h a; crank, or other suitable operating ele given a gyratory notion'in a substantially horizontal-plane, and the smaller coins will pass successively through the perforated shelves 24,4:1, 42, 43' and 4A, .the smaller bottom 45. are prevented from passing off of the forward ends of the's'everal sorting shelves by means of gates 46, one'of which .is movably sorting shelves and'the bottom 45. The sevmeans of a frame 47 so that they maybe simultaneously opera-ted. After a time a sufficient number of the larger coins will accumulate upon the-upper shelf 24 to impede or prevent separation, and thereupon the gates 46 are'withdrawn upward from of he several separating the forward ends Each of the returned to its normal post .46 returned to closed posit; Shaft 39 1S grim orFron.

4 L and bottom 45 to slide down theia clines'thereof, and if there has. been. an. im-

perfect separation of the coins on the i.ni tial' shelves the separation will be com- .pleted as the coins slide down the inclined shelves. .The largest coins,.on shelf 24%,

pass in a single layer beneath a guard whlch is arranged above the shelf a distance slightly in excess of the thickness of a new coin and just forward of the edge of a forwardly-inclined V-shaped runwav 2a". In

view Ofthe 'faCtthat the runway 2-l needs to be of considerable depth, in order to accommodate the largest coins edgewise,'t.l1is

runway is placed asfar as vpossible to one side of the structure'and "the immediately adjacent portion of shelf 41. is guarded. by

a diagonally-arranged partition 51 a '(see Fig; .4) a similar partition. 52 guarding the discharging end of the shelf-2a. A vertical partition 53 is also arranged atan intermediate, pointi between shelves 244 and 4:1. The widt-h'of the upper side of each 'V- a shaped. runway is more than half thediam- 3Q eter of coin delivered thereto so that the 'c oinsfcannot bridge over 'the'top but will, ;as they slide down on shelf 24 'reachithe runway 24;" and tip upon theircircumte'r ences and, roll down said runway into a I vert cal chute24lt dropping from thenceinto tube 242,. the'internal diameter of which is substantially equal to the diameter of the coin. ,At the same time coins on the'shelf l1 pass into a runway 41". and from thence into avertical chute 41" the coins on, shelf 4C2 pass into a runway 42 and from thence into a vertical c'oin chute 42 the coins on sielf 43 pass to 'a runway 43 and fromience to a Vertical chute 43 the coins on shelf 44: pass to arunway is and from thence to. a vertical chute 4A and the coins on bottom 45 pass to the runway 4:57 and from thence to the vertical coin chute 45" Each runway is guarded-by a guard 50 to cause the coins to pass in a single layer and thus prevent the co ns from clogging 111 the runwaysy The several coins pass from the several vertical coin chutes ll 12? 43" 44;" and 45" into the corresponding hoppers 411,421, 431, 441 and 451 respectively and from thenceto properly proportioned coin tubes 4:12, 422, 432, M2 and 452.

I The, coins arrange themselves in a vertical these tubes; terminates atits bottonrin an fannulus" 60 which is providedatits upper lead with an annular recess to, receive the" lower end ofthetube-which fits it, and each.

of these-annuli is arranged overa shallow stack in eachof the cointubesand each of groove 61 formed-in the'upper face (Sta table 62. Each groove 61 is of a width and depth corresponding to the diameter and to .fitthesuperposed'coin tube so that.the'

lowest coin 1 of each stack of coins" will lie thickness ofanew coin of the denomination in the correspondinggroove 61. As shaft 39is rotated, to accomplish the sorting, and

delivering of sorted coins, as 'already'de-- scribed, a gear 63' carried by said shaft drlves a gearfie carried by a crankshaft 65,

and thus, through pitmen 66, reciprocates a series of plungers 67, one of which is mounted in each groove 61, and projectssaid i, 8 I

plungers into engagement with the lowest coin of each staekand-projects the same be neath a roller '68 "Whichis arranged at the forward side of eachsannulus ,60' immedigv atelyabove the top of the corresponding; groove 61-, this roller facilitating the discharge of a single coin. When a rapidremoval' of successive coins from the bottom j of a stack isattempted the stack maynot of the bottom of the groove far 'enoughi'to,

allow it to tip into a hopper 'Zlirom' whence it slides into an inclined chute 72. The r0'- tation of the star wheel 70 causes the rota tion'of ashaft T3-which is suitably, geared to a counter 7430f any desired type. In the a drawings, I'vhave shown'a counter-of the.

"Vee'der type capable of accumulating values ofthe counted coins rather than merely countingi the same. The forward which-is formed through all of the plum tion in each plunger is of 'ai'size sufficient "to :permit the entrance of any coin of lesser diameter which may have by accident'passed from the sorted-into the wrong coin tube so that, as the plunger isdrawnbackward the smaller co1n mproperlymthe coin tube movement of the plunger 67 is suflicient to g 7 bring beneath each stack a perforation 75 110 gers except thesmallest, and this-perforawill be 'drawn backward from under. the. 1

It Wlll be understood of course that there is a'perforation 7 6 be neath each plunger 67 to register wlth COI'IBSPQIIClHIg perforat-ionflf) thereof. t

The coins may be delivered from tho chutes 72 either in' sacks .or to a suitable stacking device or toan automatlc wrapping mechanism. In the present drawings,

the. chutes 72, a convenienttorin of coinstacking device by means of which the coins may be readily removed in stacks of required value. for wrapping by hand. For this purpose I terminate each chute 72 in a substantially vertical cylindrical portion T21 la'neulh which there may be. arranged a tube Ht) of pro )ei' internal diameter, and having a longitiu iiiiil slot 81 through which a lt'uil'e bhule or. it made wide enough, a linger. may he iutrmluced to facilitate the witlulrawal of a desired number of coins. l or convenieia-e. a scale Hi! may be arranged along one side of this slot. in order to hold the stacking tubes St) in position 1 provide a shell H2. upon which they may he placed and a vertical guide ht which will lit the slot Ht. said guide fit carrying a pair of spring elips S5 adapted to embrace the tube Ht).

For convenience in determining the total value of eoins handled a small adding machine Ht) may be attached to the stand so that the totals of the counters T-l may be l|llll'l(l footed.

it. will be seen from the above that the operation of sorting. counting, and stacking preparatory to wrapping may be accomplished sinuiltaneously, coins of all denominations being liaiulled together and be.- ing accurately separated and counted. The coins being fed by hand to the upper shelf .51 from the tray 2:2, the operator may readily detect eouutei'feits.

l ndei' some circumstances a coin may stick in the groove tit, and in order to prevent injury of the machine one of the driving elements bet ween shaft tit) and shaft ()5 may he made to yield to an unusual force. in the present case, l have shown the gear til as connected to the shaft ()5 by n'ieans of friction rollni's in a usual and well known llltlllllt'l'- I claim as my invention:
